Today, I was finally able to watch "Polar Bear's Cafe/Shirokuma Café" and I like it a lot!! It is full of funny and cute moments, plus it is a buffet of seiyu <3
For some odd reason I thought that Polar bear was voiced by my husband, Konitan, but to my surprised it is none other than Takahiro Sakurai (which I absolutely don't mind). As I was watching the first episode I was searching who was voiced by Konishi Katsuyuki, until after half episode I heard him as...
Full Time Panda!!!
My husband is a cute and awesome PANDA!!! This makes me a SUPAH HAPPY PANDA!!!!! MUKYAAA~~~~
KoniPanda is LOVE
Ohhh~ and part time panda is voiced by Jun Fukuyama <3
BUT, this is not ALL!!! It also has my wifu~, Hiroshi Kamiya (Hiro C) and Ono Daisuke (Ono D) as penguin and llama!!!!! I can barely contain my excitement :3
Polar Bear, Panda and Penguin :3
They are hilarious!!! specially Polar Bear!!
~Undulation~ (DTB reference lol)
I can only complain about the animation, that sometimes it's not smooth as it suppose to be... but who cares, the voices and cute funny moments are the ones that make this anime gold.
Tell me with a straight face that this^ video doesn't make you go "kyaa~~ Kawaii" and doesn't fills your spirit with cuteness overload!!!
On this one ^ Ono D is the one that makes you go "Awwweeee~" voicing as a cute fluffy llama :3
So, this is my first impression at the first 4 episodes of 'Polar Bear's Cafe' I'm definitely going to continue this series for the cuteness and whatnot.
Sowie for the short post but I want to continue writing the short story, His Last Dream.
Until later my lovelies~
I shall leave you with a sleeping penguin, tehee~
P.S. Heard about the Junjou Romantica OVA, but I want a Sekaiichi Hatsukoi one (=3=)
I changed the format to the names, instead of saying "It" and "Magic", I just capitalize to facilitate the reading and to be quite honest, I did not read the first part at all!!! This second part may not make sense with the first one, but I just wanted to keep writing and whatnot...
I also eliminated the illustrations because I do not have the time to draw and to edit, I haven't even have the time to revise these two parts...
In other words, I apologize but this is the first draft and I'll fix this somehow after I'm done writing. Here is the second part, enjoy~
His Last Dream- Part II
The man didn’t jump, but simply walked on the surface and
made his way to where ‘it’ was. As he was walking he noticed things shining
underneath the surface. Each water drop that vanished from the rain it incorporated
into the frozen looking water, but it wasn’t the drops that were shining in the
surface. ‘Magic” kneeled down and carefully observed what his eyes couldn’t
believe. Instinctively after recognizing the phenomenon, the man looked up to
search for the cosmically ornaments that usually are on the sky at night.
Slowly without been able to see any, his sight came down where ‘It’ was
standing on.
“It can’t be” He thought while moving towards ‘It”
“Why are you starring everywhere, Magic? Something wrong?”
‘It’ asked, as if having the moon trapped underneath a lake was something
ordinary as if stepping on a mere reflection in a puddle.
“The sky has been trapped in the lake” He replied while
pointing out with both hands at the lake.
“Well, yeah…It has been like this since….I don’t
know…Always” A giggle came out of ‘It’ after remarking the fact in a sarcastic
way. To this reaction the man with raised
his left eyebrow in slight disapproval.
IT felt an aura full of antipathy coming from MAGIC and to
smooth the mood; IT decided to invite him to jump into the lake.
“MAGIC, would you like to swim in the lake? We can rest
afterwards.”
IT didn’t know if that would please the young man who seemed
to be annoyed by the situation, and just smiled to him to at least appease him
a little.
In reply, MAGIC stomped on the glass looking floor but this
one stayed firm and didn’t break or crack.
IT puzzled by the man’s actions said “You don’t have to take your anger
on the lake…”
“I did not take my anger on the lake. I just want to know
how we are supposed to swim in this solid lake, if it doesn’t break or melt.”
“Melt?” IT asked not knowing what the man was talking about, but IT remembered
that there was no time to waste. IT ran to MAGIC, grabbed his hand and took him
to the center of the lake where a dull looking motionless sun could be seen on
the surface. “We don’t have much time if we want to swim, just follow me and
you will see” IT told MAGIC while both of them moved. MAGIC didn’t know what to
think or believe, for he thought at first that the lake was frozen but it felt
solid as an unbreakable rock.
IT took a deep breath
and let all the air come out of its lungs afterwards, then IT faced MAGIC and
told him “We have to jump in the lake, okay? Are you ready?”
MAGIC had an ambiguous expression on his face but before
asking where exactly to jump to. IT grabbed both of his hands and jumped as
high as possible. In a matter of a fraction of a second MAGIC had a bunch of
questions in his mind “What is IT doing? Do I jump too? Should I let go of IT?”
but his body acted automatically and unconsciously MAGIC also jumped following
IT behind for just a second.
They didn’t touch the floor like MAGIC expected, instead
they were inside the lake and surrounded by water.
“I told you, see~ we were able to jump into the lake” IT
told MAGIC who incredibly could hear IT perfectly as if they could communicate
by telepathy.
“Told me what, exactly?” MAGIC responded while IT let go of
his hands and started to swim away from him.
He looked down and could have easily swum to the bottom of
the lake, where he could see plenty of starfish, normal plantae and marine
life. He smiled at the normality of the place, his anxiety lessen as fast as
his body recognize the usual feeling of water. IT knowing MAGIC wasn’t
following turned around and yelled at him “Are you staying there or are you
coming?” MAGIC fascinated by the panorama didn’t pay attention to what could
have been the top priority…air. He swam
to where IT was waiting but while doing so, he had to look up.
The starry sky was trapped in the reflection of the surface
instead of the lake this time. It looked as if it was high up and nothing like
it looked on the other side of the surface. Has it always been this way? Are
the stars and the sun painted on both sides of a coin?
MAGIC and IT swam to where only fluorescent light coming
from corals was the only source of illumination. Everything colored in hues of
blue filled the view, white algae reflected light and the ones covering rocks
could have been mistaken for snow, and even many marine plants seemed to be
trees covered in ice under an icy weather. Fish swam as if dancing under a frozen
rain, while distantly the sound of dolphins could be heard as if it were a
sweet melody, the rhythm could not be other than the echo of the waves crashing
on rocks. Seahorses sang the chorus while the main singer was no other but the
sea itself.
IT danced to this unique song while MAGIC just contemplated
the here-and-now moment. Breathing in fact was forgotten since MAGIC forgot
about air and the sensation of drowning.
It was a long lost sentiment that IT has never experienced before. It
didn’t matter anymore and just like this, time passed as a warm wind that
embraces a person just seconds before disappearing into oblivion.
Purple and pin jellyfish gathered up around them until unexpectedly
they swam rapidly to the opposite direction as if running away from something.
Then, IT remembered about time and said “Shit! MAGIC we have to leave! Swim as
fast as you can to the sun!” MAGIC saw the concern on ITs face and not only
that, but also the marine life aggressively moved everywhere as if something
terrible was about to happen. The young man swam very fast even faster than IT,
for he could not forget his formidable experience as a swimmer. When he left IT
behind he had to look back and just about to go grab IT, he saw a deep darkness
following them. He felt unease and helped IT go back to the surface; MAGIC
pushed IT up and contemplated the darkness coming fast to them. IT screamed “Come
here or you will be trapped!” MAGIC reacted, pushed himself up, and in seconds
he was once again on the frozen looking lake.
“It took you forever to come back!” IT claimed and told
MAGIC “At this time, the portal locks itself and you can’t travel this way or
that way.”
MAGIC had to ask “What was that darkness? What would have
happened if we didn’t make it out of there in time?”
“Nothing, it is just darkness… Once, I couldn’t
go back here and had to stay there for who know how long. It is just scary, you
miss track of everything… you don’t feel your hands or feet and no longer can differentiate
between what it is real and what it is not. You no longer know what you are or
who you are… that is all.” IT replied and as IT keep going its sight went down
to looking at the floor, its voice changed from calmed to trembling and at the
end a long silence stood between the two.
I have been pretty depressed these past couple of days, I have been feeling mentally and somewhat physiologically sick. I have been neglecting many things and one of them is this blog, which I should just keep it alive because it is a source of artistic therapy to me. It has gotten to the point that I even dyed my hair black like an emo kid. Anyhow, since I don't talk to anyone and been focusing on my solitude; the only thing that has been always keeping company is music...Therefore, I believe it deserves to be here once in a while.
Time to criticize awesome music and whatnot...
First of all, the new BUCK TICK single came out some days ago, it is called 'Miss Take~ 僕はミス・テイク～'
Here is the full PV
I have to say that I love every piece of it, as always I have to say I'm bias towards Buck Tick since it is my favorite band. Particularly, this PV is once again very well delivered with graphics and band performance as previous ones; I have to say that the model and the slow motion and reverse portions of the video make it very pleasing to the eye. However, talking about the song, I really enjoy this single before the previous to this one, Elise no tame ni, because of many reasons. Main one is that I did not time have to enjoy it (I barely noticed the released days before Miss Take came out) and the other main reason it is because of the mysterious and captivating lyrics to Miss Take.
The translation I have gotten so far is from 'Not Greatest Site' and my favorite part is:
"Transcending even Eternity
Stop Time, the wind is blowing
Through this world with nothing at all
Shout my name, shout my name
Sad songs, you sing them all the time You sing them very well It's beyond a question or a doubt There's no way to escape From you... My deepest love, reality"
Overall, the lyrics of this song can be interpreted in many ways (I love Buck Tick for this). As far as I can interpret the meaning, to me it is that there is a contradiction between "reality" and "love". Love being so unreal but a "heartbreak" is the opposite. So is it really a "mistake" or a "miss take", meaning that if it was an error to fall in love or is that love is an identity that takes everything away from a person in exchange for happiness?
These are mere speculations coming from me, a person who analyzed this song for about 20 minutes while been depress and enjoys pain in a none masochist manner.... yeah...
Second in line, I have...SUPER JUNIOR, which new album 'Sexy, Free & Single" came out almost 2 weeks ago.
Here is the PV for 'Sexy, Free & Single"
All I have to say about this PV is that it is hilarious!!! It cheered me up to no end.
I mean...it has bishies everywhere and I can never complain about that, but...oh my...Siwon doing the whole "diva" pose thing at the beginning (around sec 22) it got me thinking "Guy is so...FABULOUS"
Then the guy, whose name I can never remember but looks super gay to me...got a really punk manly look but then he does the leg thingy (0:48) (O.o)?.... lol???
Everyone swimming at 2:05 X'D
The random "too hot" shouting and Yesung having to say "Party time" in a very dramatic pitch voice= LOLs all over
I am already getting used to the weird effects so the weird looking glass thing explosion was nothing in comparison to the most hilarious part of this video which is....the weird 3D pictures of all members that jump in slow motion...(3:19)
Genius!!!! whoever thought of this was and it is a genius!!! i couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the video the first time I saw it, and everytime I see it...I have to at least giggle.
Really...DA HELL??!! I love it how they start with the guys with hyperactive poses and they end up with the 3 guys who just did a random simple pose.
Not only these funny parts made me love this pv/song, but MAN!!! those guys are sooo HOT and smexy~
This PV was made to make Doughae and Eunhyuk look the hell handsome (Plus, shirtless Siwon and Leekun *drools* they know what we want lol). The song and beat are contagious and makes you want to sing and DANCE!!! I like ^^d
This post is getting longer and longer...BUT, I have to talk about the rest of the songs in the album because I have my favorites already.
First one, and the one I can't stop listening because it is "Bittersweet" and I can highly relate to it at the moment.
When I heard and read the lyrics the first time, I have to confess I cried like a little girl... and my chest hurts a little everytime I listen to it. I also believe it quite reminds me of a song in Spanish from the group "UFF" but can't quite put a finger on which song...
Second favorite song "Butterfly"
This song is full of awesomeness, dubstep+ french + lyrics about metamorphosis = WIN
Honorable mentions:
"I'm a Rockstar" because Engrish is great X'D
"Now" since it is full of hope and it is very Katy Perry-ish but, I don't care since it has a nice beat.
Lastly, I shall talk about this song that captivated me during "True Blood"
It is a "OhmygoshSteampunk,urgasmicVIOLINS,andsingerwithaDEEPvoice" song.
Ohh and I can't forget another favorite band of mine, 'Kinky', which new single has also been added to my playlist, ENJOY~
